## Resource

Alistair Ross, 43, faces serious jail time after admitting to raping a woman while she was asleep and unable to consent—later sending her flowers and an apology card. The judge made it clear this won’t be forgiven lightly, emphasizing the gravity of the assault and the victim’s inability to react. Despite defense claims of psychiatric issues, the court insists the crime isn’t excused. Ross, now remanded and on the sex offenders’ register, awaits a background report before sentencing. This case underscores the non-negotiable nature of consent and the justice system’s unwavering stance against sexual violence. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
